I received a piece of email the other day blasting me for my arrogant and
distracting "Moderator's note"s.  (That's the very condensed version.)
 
Well, one piece of hate mail now and then amid a lot of encouraging mail is
a pretty decent record, but, still, I've been thinking about that somewhat -
a couple of times a note wasn't accurate, and some, like my recent "buy a $3
tag" note in the middle of an otherwise sincere posting would probably have
been better left unsaid.  At times I can't resist making a sarcastic comment
I guess and though I really mean such things in jest that may not be obvious
and the comment may be distracting.
 
Anyhow, I'll try to be a little careful.  Not that I'll shut up - I gotta
have *some* fun - but there's a thin line between being too obtrusive and
too quiet, and I've probably crossed either side at times, at least for some
subscribers.  I apologize if I've offended anyone.
 
I appreciate all of your comments - if you have thoughts about the FML that
you'd like to share feel free to email them directly to ferret-request.
